DJ CHART: Goodfoot 09/06
| 13 Sep 2006
1. Big John Patton - Silver Metre (Blue Note)
A Hammond organ groove long enough for me to take a prowl round the dancefloor to check the front of stage sound quality.
2. Willie Bobo - Evil Ways (Verve)
I get hung up on certain tunes and search out different versions. This is the original Latin take on Evil Ways (a hit for Santana).
3. The Isley Brothers - My Love Is Your Love Forever (Tamla Motown)
Sounds superb.
4. The Spinners - What More Could A Boy Ask For? (Tamla Motown)
A rarish and consistently popular Motown track. Mid-tempo soul, great vocal harmonies and perfect for the Northern Soul sideways shuffle.
5. King Curtis - Footpattin' pt. II (Atco)
This is a tribute to Jr. Walker and his raucous sax playing style. You'd think it was recorded in Detroit rather than Memphis.
6. The Supremes - Love Is An Itching In My Heart (Motown)
A classic Motown stomper with Benny Benjamin on drums and one of James Jamerson's best bass lines.
7. The Fifth Dimension - What Does It Take? (Bell)
In a search for the mid-tempo stuff that goes down well at Goodfoot I found this cover of a Jr. Walker tune in Lost Chord in Park Road. This time the Wrecking Crew play the Funk Brothers' charts.
8. The Impressions - Nothing Can Stop Me (Stateside)
Curtis Mayfield gave this to Gene Chandler for a rare UK Chart entry. Curtis sings it on the 'We're a Winner' album.
9. Otis Redding - Lovin' By The Pound (Stax)
An up-tempo slice of sixties R&B unissued till 1991. Despite all his great soul sides this is the obscure one that gets plays on the Northern Soul scene.
10. Booker T and The MG's - It's Your Thing (Stax)
I don't know how many covers I have of this Isley Brothers funk outing but this is my latest find and it's ideal for closing a set leaving the next DJ to enter on the Up beat.
